While we're a reasonable bunch, we do have some expectations for the etiquette of our posters and want you to know what will keep you in the Monkey cage, or excommunicate you to the wild jungles of the Internet to swing on a few vines to relax yourself. Needless to say, we'd like to cage you here rather than set you "free." Follow the guidelines below (there's only 3 - humor us) and you'll spend many a happy day picking flies off each other, chattering, and bouncing off the walls.

Monkeys will avoid feeding the trolls. True trolls are a rare breed; and the owners, admins and moderators know what and who they are and we have super-dooper bug spray to get rid of them. 'Nuff said.

Monkeys will use proper social etiquette in expressing their opinions. There are always more than 1 side and opinion to every story; some posts you will like and agree with, and others you won't. While lively debate is appreciated, moderators and forum admins reserve the right to admonish and/or eject, without notice, those parties who debate using insults, engage in name-calling, or otherwise imflammatory posts. Act like you're at a public place using the manners your mother taught you and you'll be just fine. If you don't have manners, don't bother posting as it just wastes our time mashing the "banned" button. We've got other things to do.

Monkeys recognize that the forum threads and some functionality may be temporarily unavailable at times. During high peak periods, forum operators may disable some features such as avatars, sig lines and the like. We'll restore it when the hooplah dies down. Likewise, we reserve the right to edit, delete or move posts or threads in any manner that we choose. Hey, when it's your house, you can move the furniture.....

These people are trying to use the media to direct the investigation They better be careful.

Yes, I totally agree. Heard tonight from Mr. Croes (the official) that there may well be a change of venue for this case, which could mean that it will definitely be scrutinized for the slightest infringement of their laws.

And if something is leaked, and discussed, it will be thrown out. Our media is doing a great job, but we're beginning to hear what many consider "inside information." They need to back off. just my NSHO.

ok, so i saw the theory about the phone calls placed to the brothers about a ride home and then cancellation of this...if this is true, then who picked him up? and how "premeditated" could this all be?

oh please...the truth is the truth...maybe this forum is just a faster medium.IMHFO

I think Jug just looks awful when he asks that Anita be brought in - he looks cruel and that does not help keep support amongst Arubans or Dutch for the prosecution. It looks like he is pushing the investigation and that's already a fear so he would be very smart to stop those kinds of statements.

GR: In what way is he not cooperating? Is he being arrogant, claiming ignorance, defiant, etc.?

JM: No, he's not defiant or ignorant or anything. He's just sticking to the rules of the investigation. If this is the hour when you have to stop the interrogation, stop. I'm not answering anything.

Is she saying he's refusing to answer anything? Or he watches the clock and stops talking when he knows the hours are up? I'm confused.

WritenowFirst - I made a mistake - they were speaking of Paulus VDS, not Joran, sorry!

All that was said is what I posted above. He did say at first, "we don't know much about what he's saying b/c they are not releasing anything. Apparently, he's not cooperating very well with the interrogation."

It should be noted that he's the editor of a paper, and is apparently geeting his info. from somewhere, but we cannot verify it.

lizzboo I missed most of the interview. but I thought that geraldo was talking to an official.

Was the offical stating "evidance type facts" or what the Kids have said ?

While I understand (and partly agree with) your point of view, I can see his point as well. While she wasn't home when whatever happened, happened, she has been at home with her husband and son since. I wouldn't have a problem with them questioning her, and, quite honestly, she would probably be the easiest to break and/or get her husband or son to break. I'm not talking about taking her into custody, but just questioning her separately.
